El correo electrónico ha pasado de ser una herramienta básica de comunicación en los años 90 a una plataforma compleja para gestionar múltiples tareas, mensajes y documentos. Con el aumento de la productividad y el volumen de correos, los usuarios necesitan funcionalidades avanzadas que vayan más allá del simple envío y recepción de mensajes. Aquí es donde aplicaciones como Spark Mail ofrecen una ventaja al modernizar la gestión del correo electrónico. ¿Qué es Spark Mail?. Spark Mail es una aplicación de correo electrónico diseñada por Readdle, que se centra en la productividad y la colaboración en equipo. Disponible tanto para dispositivos móviles como de escritorio, Spark se destaca por su diseño intuitivo y funciones de organización avanzadas que buscan simplificar la experiencia del correo electrónico. Características únicas de Spark Mail. Bandeja de Entrada Inteligente : Spark clasifica automáticamente los correos en categorías como "Personal", "Notificaciones" y "Boletines", ayudando a los usuarios a identificar rápidamente lo importante y reducir el ruido en la bandeja de entrada. Esto es especialmente útil para usuarios con cuentas de alta actividad. Snooze y Recordatorios : Spark permite a los usuarios posponer correos electrónicos para revisarlos más tarde y agregar recordatorios para hacer un seguimiento. Esto evita que los correos importantes se pierdan en el olvido y permite una gestión más estratégica del tiempo. Colaboración en Equipo : Una de las características más destacadas de Spark es la posibilidad de colaborar en equipo. Los usuarios pueden comentar correos de forma privada y compartir borradores para revisión antes de enviarlos, facilitando la comunicación interna sin necesidad de enviar correos adicionales. Búsqueda Avanzada : Spark permite hacer búsquedas utilizando palabras clave y filtros específicos para encontrar mensajes rápidamente. Esto es útil para usuarios que gestionan una gran cantidad de correos y necesitan acceder a información específica sin perder tiempo. Plantillas de Respuesta : Para quienes manejan correos repetitivos, Spark permite crear plantillas personalizadas. Esta función ahorra tiempo al responder consultas frecuentes y asegura que las respuestas sean consistentes. Integración con Apps de Productividad : Spark se integra con aplicaciones como Trello, Asana y Dropbox, permitiendo a los usuarios enviar tareas o archivos directamente desde la aplicación de correo, lo que facilita la gestión de proyectos y la colaboración. Beneficios de Spark Mail para la Productividad. Menos Tiempo en la Bandeja de Entrada : Al categorizar correos y permitir posponer, Spark ayuda a los usuarios a reducir el tiempo dedicado a revisar mensajes no prioritarios. Mejor Organización : Las carpetas inteligentes y las etiquetas facilitan la organización del correo y permiten que los usuarios encuentren rápidamente la información necesaria. Colaboración sin Interrupciones : Con las funciones de colaboración, Spark evita que los correos de trabajo se conviertan en largas cadenas, agilizando las decisiones y mejorando la eficiencia del equipo. Spark Mail no solo mejora la eficiencia de la gestión de correos, sino que también introduce una experiencia de colaboración integrada. Con herramientas como la Bandeja de Entrada Inteligente y las integraciones con apps de productividad, Spark se convierte en una excelente opción para usuarios que buscan algo más avanzado que un cliente de correo estándar.

#206: Evolving apps: Meeting user needs and staying intuitive with Paul Sakhatskyi, Head of Product Marketing at Readdle

I think for all of us this experience is familiar. We download a new app we've been looking for to fulfill specific needs and for some time the experience is great. Then your needs may evolve and now you need a new version of the app to cover it. If your updated requirements for the app are more or less in line with what other people need, and if the developer closely monitor these needs, soon you'll get the updated version. Of course, the opposite is as likely - you may never get an update for the app, you can't wait anymore and you go and download a similar app from other company. So, the question - how do app developers' team can keep their users happy? On the other hand, how do you make sure that over time your app stays intuitive for its users? Well, today we have Paul to talk about how their team handles these hard questions for their app Documents. Today's Topics Include: Paul's background About Readdle The Documents app by Readdle quick overview Staying ahead of app users' evolving needs Introducing new features while keeping user experience familiar Android or iOS? Leaving his smartphone at home, what features would Paul miss most? What features he would like to see added to his smartphone? Links and Resources: Paul Sakhatskyi on LinkedIn Readdle Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Paul Sakhatskyi: "So this is a very interesting question because we can look at it from different perspectives. So, I think there are two components, major components in this area. The first one, you should definitely reflect current needs of your users all the time, addressing their requests, addressing their issues, addressing new technologies that emerge all the time. But at the same time, you need to look forward  to create something that people and users might not think about right now." "We are using multiple things here. So first of all, we don't do dramatic changes that touch every single piece of the product. So we break it down into kind of components, use cases. So for example, we might redesign or create a new hypothesis, for example, an audio editing that we have inside the app. And we launch it."

When Ukrainian-born Denys Zhadanov went to London to study at the age of 19, he had no idea that a year later he would be launching one of the world's most successful developers of productivity apps for Apple devices. Nor did he know that, working from his rented flat and with no outside funding, in a few years Forbes would recognize him as one of the top 30 under 30 business leaders in Europe. The story of how Denys and his co-founders launched and grew Readdle into a top global player is a living example of how, in Denys's words, “Dedication, hard work, brilliant people all around, and the insane desire to make this world a better place pays off.” It's also of example of how having a larger goal than making money alone adds significance and meaning to the entrepreneurial journey.

I came across this app because I needed a way to create a “stream” of screenshots. For example, today attorneys need their clients to preserve text messages and the easiest way (though not always the most comprehensive way) is to take a series of screenshots of a text messages conversation (take a screenshot, scroll up, screenshot, scroll up, screenshot, rinse & repeat). But this can also be a series of screenshots from a Twitter conversation, or Instagram comments, or Facebook page, anything … Now you have a bunch of screenshots in your photo roll. Open the Stitch It! App and pull in the screenshots you want to “stitch” together. The app is free, but for $1.99 you can unlock the “no ad” mode, and you can stitch more than 3 images together. You can also crop each screenshot to fit seamlessly together and even redact personal info. http://stitchitapp.com (for both iOS and Android)Jeff's Photo Tip: PixelMator ML Super ResolutionYou can increase the resolution of pictures and add missing detail.  Especially useful if you substantially crop an image.https://www.pixelmator.com/blog/2019/12/17/all-about-the-new-ml-super-resolution-feature-in-pixelmator-pro/ https://www.pixelmator.com/blog/2020/09/15/pixelmator-photo-major-update-brings-ml-super-resolution-to-ipad/ Brett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.com  Jeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

Follow-up Paolo, nel canale Telegram di Avvocati e Mac (https://t.me/joinchat/WB-zm1-RbHCPQrCL), ci ha fatto notare che: Per inserire l'accento acuto "`" (anche se nel contesto informatico ha più senso chiamarlo backquote o backtick) con la tastiera italiana su Mac basta premere option+. Non è necessario usare la dead key option+9 e spazio. 1. Perché digitalizzare ? Risparmiare: stampare su carta costa archiviare la carte costa: fatica e spazio Organizzare: minor confusione sulla scrivania e documenti in giro per casa o ufficio Lavorare di meno ed ovunque: possibilità di stampare infinite copie di un documento digitalizzato inviarlo via email portarselo dietro ovunque basta avere uno spazio sul disco fisso o chiavetta Inquinare di meno: la carta sono alberi tagliati e l'inchiostro inquina 2. I passi per digitalizzare Come si può affrontare la digitalizzazione di casa o dell'ufficio. Catturare / acquisire (ne parlermo nell'episodio di oggi) Organizzare i documenti digitali (ne parleremo nel prossimo episodio) Lavorare con i documenti in digitale Condividere i documenti Backup dei documenti (ne abbiamo già parlato nella puntata 8 del podcast) Cosa tenere su carta ? 3. Catturare / acquisire in digitale Assurdo partire digitalizzando tutto … MEGLIO approccio semplice di iniziare a digitalizzare quel che entra in casa o in ufficio. Formato preferito per digitalizzare è il PDF (creato da Adobe ora standard "aperto") è di fatto il formato di file più utilizzato in tutto gli ambiti. Esistono vari "guisti" (flavour) di PDF. Per ragioni di spazio non ne parleremo ma è opportuno sapere che esistono per non rimanere "impressionati" dalla cosa. Oltre ai PDF normali esistono gli altrettanto famosi pdf/a che sono prevalentemente pensati per l'archiviazione per lunghi periodi di tempo quindi sono "retro-compatibili". I PDF potenzialmente possono contenere anche elementi multimediali come audio e video (anche se non sono molto usati per questo). Per approfondimenti trovete nelle note dell'episodio link a Wikipedia (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format) con i vari standard. 2 tipologie di PDF: acquisizioni = fotocopie digitali PDF testuali dove il PDF viene generato da un programma (di video-scrittura ma non solo) e quindi già digitale. Una volta che sappiamo come salvare i documenti che catturiamo vediamo come farlo. 3.1 Dalla carta Una volta catturare / acquisire un documento di carta era una attività legata prevalentemente all'acquisto di uno strumento apposta: lo scanner. Negli ultimi anni tuttavia tutti hanno a loro disposizione uno smartphone con la sua fotocamera. Usare uno iPhone per fare scansioni non è perfetto (non come uno scanner professionale dedicato a questo scopo) ma per piccole catture è uno strumento alla portata di tutti e, con le dovute accortezze, permette di ottenere dei buoni risultati. iPhone e iPad NON FATE UNA FOTO AL DOCUMENTO però! Esistono svariati programmi per fare acquisizioni tra cui il gratuito Note (https://support.apple.com/it-it/HT210336). I risultati di Note sono buoni ma non viene fatto l'OCR. Gli strumenti di Note sono vari, tra cui il riconoscimento degli angoli del documento ed un sistema di auto scontorno e "raddrizzamento" del foglio. Oltre la possibilità di convertire tra colori, scala di grigi e bianco e nero. NOTA: Come acquisire al meglio un documento con l'iPhone o l'iPad: se è un foglio di carta bianca cercare di fare l'acquisizione su una superficie NON bianca. In questo modo il sistema di riconoscimento dei bordi del foglio funzionerà meglio e non dovrete fare quasi nulla. È poi possibile abilitare il flash per ottenere un'immagine migliore soprattutto se il luogo in cui fare l'acquisizione non è ben illuminato o ci sono ombre proiettate sul foglio. Una volta salvato in Note il documento è possibile esportarlo come PDF altrove. Software a pagamento permetto cose più avanzate tipo: acquisizione multipla di pagine riconoscimento del testo acquisito correzzione avanzata delle immagini Software per l'acquisizione dei documenti: Swiftscan (https://swiftscan.app/en/index.html) (ex ScanPro) che utilizza Filippo ora passato in abbonamento però (37,99 € l'anno) PDFpen 6 (https://pdfpen.com/pdfpen-ios/) attualmente in sconto Microsoft Lens (https://support.microsoft.com/it-it/office/microsoft-lens-per-ios-fbdca5f4-1b1b-4391-a931-dc1c2582397b) (Nicola ) Adobe Scan (https://apps.apple.com/it/story/id1405448660) (Sergio ) Scanner Pro (https://readdle.com/it/scannerpro) (Paolo ) di Readdle la versione Plus 19,99 € Usare la Fotocamera con Continuity su Mac (https://support.apple.com/it-it/HT209037) è possibile usare iPhone ed iPad come scanner del Mac usando la funzione Continuty. Alcune limitazioni: funziona con le app di Apple, Mojave ed iOS 12 requisiti minimi + autenticaizone a due fattori WiFi e Bluetooth attivi sia su Mac che dispositivo iOS. Possibilità di fare sia foto che scansione documenti. SE utilizzate soluzioni Cloud possibilità di fare scansioni anche dalle app dei vari provider (Valerio). Mac + scanner dedicato Su Mac non è possibile catturare autonomamente ma è necessario acquisire con un scanner. NO scanner piano, ma con fascicolatore. Rispetto ad iPhone e iPad scansioni più precise e con più opzioni, inoltre possibilità di scansionare grossa mole di documenti. Utile per un flusso di lavoro veloce e rapido (e permette di automatizzare – vedremo meglio nella prossima puntata). ScanSnap Fujisu (https://www.scansnapit.com/it/): Filippo nel 2014 ha acquistato lo ScanSnap iX500 (non più in produzione) ma funziona perfettamente, costoso (500 €) ma super flessibile, fa OCR documenti, rimuove pagine bianche, 50 pagine e gestisce quasi tutti i formati dall'A4 in giù. Epson WorkForce duplex: consigliato da David Sparks nella sua ultima Field Guide sul Paperless, costa un po' meno della ScanSnap. In generale scegliere uno scanner che acquisisca velocemente una mole sufficiente di documenti, gli scanner duplex scansionato ambo i lati del foglio. È anche importante che oltre alla scansione facciano l'OCR del documento (approfondiremo le ragioni nella prossima puntata ma fidatevi). 3.2 In digitale Quel che nasce digitale deve rimanere tale (non deve essere stampato, possibilmente). Mac Stampare in PDF ogni qual volta è possibile. macOS permette in qualsiasi programma che abbia la possibilità di stampare da la possibilità di stampare in PDF. Come salvare le email ? Faremo puntata dedicata alle email ma tendenzialmente conviene salvare le email come PDF. Sappiate solo che se volete iOS / iPadOS Anche iOS / iPadOS ma è un po' più complicato … aprire dove è possibile la sharesheet (l'opzione di condivisione) tasto stampa aprire l'interfaccia di stampa ed, invece di stampare, fare il gesto di “ingrandisci” (pinch to zoom). Si aprirà il documento da stampare e, a questo punto, utilizzando la sharesheet sarà possibile salvare il documento come PDF. Dove ci potete trovare?

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Inc. Transcript: [30:50] Jack Dorsey: We were called here today because of an enforcement decision we made against New York Post, based on a policy we created in 2018. To prevent Twitter from being used to spread hacked materials. This resulted in us blocking people from sharing a New York Post article, publicly or privately. We made a quick interpretation, using no other evidence that the materials in the article were obtained through hacking, and according to our policy, we blocked them from being spread. Upon further consideration, we admitted this action was wrong and corrected it within 24 hours. We informed the New York Post of our air and policy update and how to unlock their account by deleting the original violating tweet, which freed them to tweet the exact same content and news article again. They chose not to, instead insisting we reverse our enforcement action. We do not have a practice around retro actively overturning prior enforcement's, since then it demonstrated that we needed one and so we created one we believe is fair and appropriate. [35:13] Mark Zuckerberg: At Facebook, we took our responsibility to protect the integrity of this election very seriously. In 2016, we began to face new kinds of threats and after years of preparation, we were ready to defend against them. We built sophisticated systems to protect against election interference, that combined artificial intelligence, significant human review, and partnerships with the intelligence community, law enforcement and other tech platforms. We've taken down more than 100 networks of bad actors, we're trying to coordinate and interfere globally, we established a network of independent fact checkers that covers more than 60 languages. We made political advertising more transparent on Facebook than anywhere else, and including TV, radio and email. And we introduced new policies to combat voter suppression and misinformation. Still, the pandemic created new challenges, how to handle misinformation about COVID and voting by mail, how to prepare people for the reality, the results would take time, and how to handle if someone prematurely declared victory or refused to accept the result. So in September, we updated our policies again to reflect these realities of voting in 2020. And make sure that we were taking precautions given these unique circumstances. We worked with local election officials to remove false claims about polling conditions that might lead to voter suppression. We partnered with Reuters and the national election pool to provide reliable information about results. We attach voting information to posts by candidates on both sides and additional contexts to posts trying to de legitimize the outcome. We lock down new political ads and the week before the election to prevent misleading claims from spreading when they couldn't be rebutted. We strengthened our enforcement against militias and conspiracy networks like QAnon to prevent them from using our platforms to organize violence or civil unrest altogether. I believe this was the largest election integrity effort by any private company in recent times. [40:50] Jack Dorsey: We have transparency around our policies, we do not have transparency around how we operate content moderation, the rationale behind it, the reasoning. And as we look forward, we have more and more of our decisions of our operations moving to algorithms, which are, have a difficult time explaining why they make decisions, bringing transparency around those decisions. And that is why we believe that we should have more choice in how these algorithms are applied to our content, whether we use them at all so we can turn them on or off and have clarity around the outcomes that they're projecting and how they affect our experience. [45:39] Mark Zuckerberg: We work with a number of independent organizations that are accredited by the Poynter Institute. And they include Reuters, the Associated Press. AJans France presse, United States, USA Today, factcheck.org, Science Feedback, PolitiFact, Check Your Fact, Leadstories and the Dispatch in the United States. [48:54] Sen. Lindsay Graham (SC): Do both of you support change to 230? Reform of Section 230? Mark Zuckerberg: Senator I do. Sen. Lindsay Graham (SC): Mr. Dorsey? Jack Dorsey: Yes. Sen. Lindsay Graham (SC): Thank you. [54:10] Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): How many times is Steve Bannon allowed to call for the murder of government officials before Facebook suspends his account? Mark Zuckerberg: Senator, as you say, the content in question did violate our policies and we took it down. Having a content violation does not automatically mean your account gets taken down. And the number of strikes varies depending on the amount and type of offense. So if people are posting terrorist content or child exploitation content, then the first time they do it, then we will take down their account. For other things. It's multiple, I'd be happy to follow up afterwards. We try not to disclose these... Sorry, I didn't hear that. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (CT): Will you commit to taking down that account? Steve Bannon? Mark Zuckerberg: Senator, no, that's not what our policies would suggest that we should do in this case. [1:07:05] Jack Dorsey: What we saw and what the market told us was that people would not put up with abuse, harassment and misleading information that would cause offline harm, and they would leave our service because of it. So our intention is to create clear policy, clear enforcement that enables people to feel that they can express themselves on our service, and ultimately trust it. Sen. John Cornyn (TX): So it was a business decision. Jack Dorsey: It was a business decision. [2:56:34] Mark Zuckerberg: We do coordinate on and share signals on security related topics. So for example, if there is signal around a terrorist attack or around child exploitation imagery or around a foreign government, creating an influence operation, that is an area where the companies do share signals about what they see. But I think it's important to be very clear that that is distinct from the content moderation policies that we or the other companies have, where once we share intelligence or signals between the companies, each company makes its own assessment of the right way to address and deal with that information. [3:59:10] Sen. Mazie Hirono (HI): I don't know what it what are both of you prepared to do regarding Donald Trump's use of your platforms after he stops being president it? Will he still be deemed newsworthy? And will he still get to use your platform to spread this misinformation? Mark Zuckerberg: Senator, let me clarify my last answer. We are also having academic study, the effective of all of our election measures and they'll be publishing those results publicly. In terms of President Trump and moving forward. There are a small number of policies where we have exceptions for politicians under the principle that people should be able to hear what their elected officials are saying and candidates for office. But by and large, the vast majority of our policies have no newsworthiness or political exception. So if the President or anyone else is spreading hate speech, or inciting violence, or posting content, that delegitimizes the election or valid forms of voting, those will receive the same treatment is anyone else saying those things, and that will continue to be the case Sen. Mazie Hirono (HI): Remains to be seen. Jack Dorsey: So we do have a policy around public interest, where for global leaders, we do make exceptions in terms of whether if a tweet violates our terms of service, we leave it up behind an interstitial, and people are not allowed to share that more broadly. So a lot of the sharing is disabled with the exception of quoting it so that you can add your own conversation on top of it. So if an account suddenly becomes, is not a world leader anymore, that particular policy goes away. [4:29:35] Sen. Marsha Blackburn (TN): Do you believe it's Facebook's duty to comply with state sponsored censorship so it can keep operating doing business and selling ads in that country? Mark Zuckerberg: Senator in general, we try to comply with the laws in every country where we operate and do business. Hearing: BIG TECH AND SECTION 230 IMMUNITY, Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, October 28, 2020 Witnesses: Jack Dorsey, Twitter, Inc. Sundar Pichai, Alphabet Inc. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Inc. Transcript: [10:10] Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): In policing, conservative sites, then its own YouTube platform or the same types of offensive and outrageous claims. [45:50] Jack Dorsey: The goal of our labeling is to provide more context to connect the dots so that people can have more information so they can make decisions for themselves. [46:20] Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): I have a tweet here from Mr. Ajit Pai. Mr. Ajit Pai is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. And he recounts some four tweets by the Iranian dictator, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which Twitter did not place a public label on. They all four of them glorify violence. The first tweet says this and I quote each time 'the Zionist regime is a deadly cancerous growth and a detriment to the region, it will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed.' That's the first tweet. The second tweet 'The only remedy until the removal of the Zionist regime is firm armed resistance,' again, left up without comment by Twitter. The third 'the struggle to free Palestine is jihad in the way of God.' I quote that in part for the sake of time, and number four, 'we will support and assist any nation or any group anywhere who opposes and fights the Zionist regime.' I would simply point out that these tweets are still up, Mr. Dorsey. And how is it that they are acceptable to be to be there? Alan, I'll ask unanimous consent to enter this tweet from Ajit Pai in the record at this point that'll be done. Without objection. How Mr. Dorsey, is that acceptable based on your policies at Twitter? Jack Dorsey: We believe it's important for everyone to hear from global leaders and we have policies around world leaders. We want to make sure that we are respecting their right to speak and to publish what they need. But if there's a violation of our terms of service, we want to label it and... Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): They're still up, did they violate your terms of service? Mr. Dorsey? Jack Dorsey: We did not find those two violate our terms of service because we consider them saber rattling, which is, is part of the speech of world leaders in concert with other countries. Speech against our own people, or a country's own citizens we believe is different and can cause more immediate harm. [59:20] Jack Dorsey: We don't have a policy against misinformation. We have a policy against misinformation in three categories, which are manipulated media, public health, specifically COVID and civic integrity, election interference and voter suppression. [1:39:05] Sen. Brian Schatz (HI): What we are seeing today is an attempt to bully the CEOs of private companies into carrying out a hit job on a presidential candidate, by making sure that they push out foreign and domestic misinformation meant to influence the election. To our witnesses today, you and other tech leaders need to stand up to this immoral behavior. The truth is that because some of my colleagues accuse you, your companies and your employees of being biased or liberal, you have institutionally bent over backwards and over compensated, you've hired republican operatives, hosted private dinners with Republican leaders, and in contravention of your Terms of Service, given special dispensation to right wing voices, and even throttled progressive journalism. Simply put, the republicans have been successful in this play. [1:47:15] Jack Dorsey: This one is a tough one to actually bring transparency to. Explainability in AI is a field of research but is far out. And I think a better opportunity is giving people more choice around the algorithms they use, including to turn off the algorithms completely which is what we're attempting to do. [2:15:00] Sen. Jerry Moran (KS): Whatever the numbers are you indicate that they are significant. It's a enormous amount of money and an enormous amount of employee time, contract labor time in dealing with modification of content. These efforts are expensive. And I would highlight for my colleagues on the committee that they will not be any less expensive, perhaps less than scale, but not less in cost for startups and small businesses. And as we develop our policies in regard to this topic, I want to make certain that entrepreneurship, startup businesses and small business are considered in what it would cost in their efforts to meet the kind of standards to operate in a sphere. [2:20:40] Sen. Ed Markey (MA): The issue is not that the companies before us today are taking too many posts down. The issue is that they're leaving too many dangerous posts up. In fact, they're amplifying harmful content so that it spreads like wildfire and torches our democracy. [3:04:00] Sen. Mike Lee (UT): Between the censorship of conservative and liberal points of view, and it's an enormous disparity. Now you have the right, I want to be very clear about this, you have every single right to set your own terms of service and to interpret them and to make decisions about violations. But given the disparate impact of who gets censored on your platforms, it seems that you're either one not enforcing your Terms of Service equally, or alternatively, to that you're writing your standards to target conservative viewpoints. [3:15:30] Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): Okay for both Mr. Zuckerberg and Dorsey who censored New York Post stories, or throttled them back, did either one of you have any evidence that the New York Post story is part of Russian disinformation? Or that those emails aren't authentic? Did anybody have any information whatsoever? They're not authentic more than they are Russian disinformation? Mr. Dorsey? Jack Dorsey: We don't. Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): So why would you censor it? Why did you prevent that from being disseminated on your platform that is supposed to be for the free expression of ideas, and particularly true ideas... Jack Dorsey: we believe to fell afoul of our hacking materials policy, we judged... Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): They weren't hacked. Jack Dorsey: We we judge them moment that it looked like it was hacked material. Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): You were wrong. Jack Dorsey: And we updated our policy and our enforcement within 24 hours. Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): Mr. Zuckerberg? Mark Zuckerberg: Senator, as I testified before, we relied heavily on the FBI, his intelligence and alert status both through their public testimony and private briefings. Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): Did the FBI contact you, sir, than your co star? It was false. Mark Zuckerberg: Senator not about that story specifically. Sen. Ron Johnson (MA): Why did you throttle it back. Mark Zuckerberg: They alerted us to be on heightened alert around a risk of hack and leak operations around a release and probe of information. And to be clear on this, we didn't censor the content. We flagged it for fact checkers to review. And pending that review, we temporarily constrained its distribution to make sure that it didn't spread wildly while it was being reviewed. But it's not up to us either to determine whether it's Russian interference, nor whether it's true. We rely on the fact checkers to do that. [3:29:30] Sen. Rick Scott (FL): That's becoming obvious that your that your companies are unfairly targeting conservatives. That's clearly the perception today, Facebook is actively targeting as by conservative groups ahead of the election, either removing the ads completely or adding their own disclosure if they claim that didn't pass their fact check system. [3:32:40] Sen. Rick Scott (FL): You can't just pick and choose which viewpoints are allowed on your platform an expect to keep immunity granted by Section 230. News Clip: Adam Schiff on CNN, CNN, Twitter, October 16, 2020 Hearing: MISINFORMATION, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, AND `INFODEMICS': STOPPING THE SPREAD ONLINE, Committee on the Judiciary: Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law, October 15, 2020 Watch on Youtube Hearing Transcript Witnesses: Dr. Joan Donovan: Research Director at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School Nina Jankowicz: Disinformation Fellow at the Wilson Center Cindy Otis: Vice President of the Althea Group Melanie Smith: Head of Analysis, Graphika Inc Transcript: 41:30 Rep. Jim Himes (CT): And I should acknowledge that we're pretty careful. We understand that we shouldn't be in the business of fighting misinformation that's probably inconsistent with the First Amendment. So what do we do? We ask that it be outsourced to people that we otherwise are pretty critical of like Mark Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey, we say you do it, which strikes me as a pretty lame way to address what may or may not be a problem. 42:00 Rep. Jim Himes (CT): Miss Jankowicz said that misinformation is dismantling democracy. I'm skeptical of that. And that will be my question. What evidence is that is out there that this is dismantling democracy, I don't mean that millions of people see QAnon I actually want to see the evidence that people are seeing this information, and are in a meaningful way, in a material way, dismantling our democracy through violence or through political organizations, because if we're going to go down that path, I need something more than eyeballs. So I need some evidence for how this is dismantling our democracy. And secondly, if you persuade me that we're dismantling our democracy, how do we get in the business of figuring out who should define what misinformation or disinformation is? Nina Jankowicz: To address your first question related to evidence of the dismantling of democracy. There's two news stories that I think point to this from the last couple of weeks alone. The first is related to the kidnapping plot against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. And the social media platforms played a huge role in allowing that group to organize. It allowed, that group to, it ceded the information that led them to organize and frankly, as a woman online who has been getting harassed a lot lately, lately, with sexualized and gender disinformation, I am very acutely aware of how those threats that are online can transfer on to real world violence. And that make no mistake is meant to keep women and minorities from not only participating in the democratic process by exercising our votes, but also keeping us from public life. So that's one big example. But there was another example just recently from a channel for in the UK documentary that looked at how the Trump campaign used Cambridge Analytica data to selectively target black voters with voter suppression ads during the 2016 election. Again, this is it's affecting people's participation. It's not just about fake news, stories on the internet. In fact, a lot of the best disinformation is grounded in a kernel of truth. And in my written testimony, I go through a couple of other examples of how online action has led to real world action. And this isn't something that is just staying on the internet, it is increasingly in real life. Rep. Jim Himes (CT): I don't have a lot of time. Do you think that both examples that you offered up Gov the plot to kidnap governor, the governor of Michigan, and your other example passed the but for test? I mean, this country probably got into the Spanish American War over 130 years ago because of the good works of William Randolph Hearst. So how do we, we've had misinformation and yellow journalism and terrible media and voter suppression forever. And I understand that these media platforms have scale that William Randolph Hearst didn't have. But are you sure that both of those examples pass the buck for they wouldn't have happened without the social media misinformation? Nina Jankowicz: I believe they do, because they allow the organization of these groups without any oversight, and they allow the targeting the targeting of these messages to the groups and people that are going to find the most vulnerable and are most likely to take action against them. And that's what our foreign adversaries do. And increasingly, it's what people within our own country are using to organize violence against the democratic participation of many of our fellow citizens. Rep. Jim Himes (CT): Okay, well, I'm out of time I would love to continue this conversation and pursue what you mean by groups being formed quote, without oversight, that's language I'd like to better understand but I'm out of time, but I would like to continue this conversation into, well, if this is the problem that you say it is, what do we actually do about it? Hearing: ONLINE PLATFORMS AND MARKET POWER, PART 2: INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, Committee on the Judiciary: Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law, July 16, 2020 Watch on Youtube Witnesses: Adam Cohen: Director of Economic Policy at Google Matt Perault: Head of Global Policy Development at Facebook Nate Sutton: Associate General Counsel for Competition at Amazon Kyle Andeer: Vice President for Corporate Law at Apple Timothy Wu: Julius Silver Professor of Law at Columbia Law School Dr. Fiona Scott Morton: Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics at Yale School of Management Stacy Mitchell: Co-Director at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance Maureen Ohlhausen: Partner at Baker Botts LLP Carl Szabo: Vice President and Gneral Counsel at NetChoice Morgan Reed: Executive Director at the App Association Transcript: [55:15] Adam Cohen: Congresswoman we use a combination of automated tools, we can recognize copyrighted material that creators upload and instantaneously discover it and keep it from being seen on our platforms. [1:16:00] Rep. David Cicilline (RI): Do you use consumer data to favor Amazon products? Because before you answer that, analysts estimate that between 80 and 90% of sales go to the Amazon buy box. So you collect all this data about the most popular products where they're selling. And you're saying you don't use that in any way to change an algorithm to support the sale of Amazon branded products? Nate Sutton: Our algorithms such as the buy box is aimed to predict what customers want to buy, apply the same criteria whether you're a third party seller, or Amazon to that because we want customers to make the right purchase, regardless of whether it's a seller or Amazon. Rep. David Cicilline (RI): But the best purchase to you as an Amazon product. Nate Sutton: No, that's not true. Rep. David Cicilline (RI): So you're telling us you're under oath, Amazon does not use any of that data collected with respect to what is selling, where it's on what products to inform the decisions you make, or to change algorithms to direct people to Amazon products and prioritize Amazon and D prioritize competitors. Nate Sutton: The algorithms are optimized to predict what customers want to buy regardless of the seller. We provide this same criteria and with respect to popularity, that's public data on each product page. We provide the ranking of each product. [3:22:50] Dr. Fiona Scott Morton: As is detailed in the report that I submitted as my testimony, there are a number of characteristics of platforms that tend to drive them toward concentrated markets, very large economies of scale, consumers exacerbate this with their behavioral biases, we don't scroll down to the second page, we don't. We accept default, we follow the framing the platform gives us and instead of searching independently, and what that does is it makes it very hard for small companies to grow and for new ones to get traction against the dominant platform. And without the threat of entry from entrepreneurs and growth from existing competitors, the dominant platform doesn't have to compete as hard. If it's not competing as hard, then there are several harms that follow from that. One is higher prices for advertisers, many of these platforms are advertising supported, then there's higher prices to consumers who may think that they're getting a good deal by paying a price of zero. But the competitive price might well be negative, the consumers might well be able to be paid for using these platforms in a competitive market. Other harms include low quality in the form of less privacy, more advertising and more exploitative content that consumers can't avoid. Because, as Tim just said, there isn't anywhere else to go. And lastly, without competitive pressure, innovation is lessened. And in particular, it's channeled in the direction the dominant firm prefers, rather than being creatively spread across directions chosen by entrance. And this is what we learned both from at&t and IBM and Microsoft, is that when the dominant firm ceases to control innovation, there's a flowering and it's very creative and market driven. So the solution to this problem of insufficient competition is complimentary steps forward in both antitrust and regulation. Antitrust must recalibrate the balance it strikes between the risk of over enforcement and under enforcement. The evidence now shows we've been under enforcing for years and consumers have been harmed. [3:22:50] Stacy Mitchell: I hope the committee will consider several policy tools as part of this investigation. In particular, we very much endorse the approach that Congress took with regard to the railroads, that if you operate essential infrastructure, you can't also compete with the businesses that rely on that infrastructure. [3:45:00] Morgan Reed: Here on the table, I have a copy of Omni page Pro. This was a software you bought, if you needed to scan documents. If you wanted to turn it into a processor and you could look at it in a word processor. I've also got this great review from PC World, they loved it back in 2005. But the important fact here in this review is that it says the street price of this software in 2005 was $450. Now, right here, I've got an app from a company called Readdle, that is nearly the same product level has a bunch of features that this one doesn't, it's $6. Basically now consumers pay less than 1% of what they used to pay for some of the same capability. And what's even better about that, even though I love the product from Readdle, there are dozens of competitors in the app space. So when you look at it from that perspective, consumers are getting a huge win. How have platforms made this radical drop in price possible? Simply put, they've provided three things a trusted space, reduced overhead, and given my developers nearly instant access to a global marketplace with billions of customers, before the platforms to get your software onto a retail store shelf. companies had to spend years and thousands of dollars to get to the point where a distributor would handle their product, then you'd agree agree to a cut of sales revenue, write a check for upfront marketing, agree to refund the distributor the cost of any unsold boxes and then spend 10s of thousands of dollars to buy an end cap. Digging a little bit on this, I don't know how many of you know or aware that the products you see on your store shelf or in the Sunday flyer aren't there because the manager thought it was a cool product. Those products are displayed at the end of an aisle or end cap because the software developer or consumer goods company literally pays for the shelf space. In fact, for many retailers the sale of floor the sale of floor space and flyers makes a huge chunk of their profitability for their store. And none of this takes into consideration printing boxes, manuals, CDs, dealing with credit cards if you go direct translation services, customs authorities if you want to sell abroad in the 1990s it cost a million dollars to start up a software company. Now it's $100,000 in sweat equity. And thanks to these changes, the average cost for consumer software has dropped from $50 to three. For developers. Our cost to market has dropped enormously and the size of our market has expanded globally. [3:48:55] Stacy Mitchell: I've spent a lot of time interviewing and talking with independent retailers, manufacturers of all sizes. Many of them are very much afraid of speaking out publicly because they fear retaliation. But what we consistently hear is that Amazon is the biggest threat to their businesses. We just did a survey of about 550 independent retailers nationally, Amazon ranked number one in terms of being what they said was the biggest threat to their business above, rising healthcare costs, access to capital, government, red tape, anything else you can name. Among those who are actually selling on the platform, only 7% reported that it was actually helping their bottom line. Amazon has a kind of godlike view of a growing share of our commerce and it uses the data that it gathers to advantage its own business and its own business interests in lots of ways. A lot of this, as I said, comes from the kind of leverage its ability to sort of leverage the interplay between these different business lines to maximize its advantage, whether it's promoting its own product because that's lucrative or whether it's using the manufacturer of a product to actually squeeze a seller or vendor into giving it bigger discounts. [3:53:15] Rep. Kelly Armstrong (ND): When we recognize, I come from very rural area, the closest, what you would consider a big box store is Minneapolis or Denver. So and so when we're talking about competition, all of this I also think we've got to remember, at no point in time from my house in Dickinson, North Dakota have I had more access to more diverse and cheap consumer products. I mean, things that often would require a plane ticket or a nine hour car ride to buy can now be brought to our house. So I think when we're talking about consumers, we need to remember that side of it, too. Hearing: EMERGING TRENDS IN ONLINE FOREIGN INFLUENCE OPERATIONS: SOCIAL MEDIA, COVID–19, AND ELECTION SECURITY, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, June 18, 2020 Watch on Youtube Hearing transcript Witnesses: Nathaniel Gleicher: Head of Security Policy at Facebook Nick Pickles: Director of Global Public Policy Strategy and Development at Twitter Richard Salgado: Director for Law Enforcement and Information Security at Google Transcript: [19:16] Nathaniel Gleicher: Facebook has made significant investments to help protect the integrity of elections. We now have more than 35,000 people working on safety and security across the company, with nearly 40 teams focused specifically on elections and election integrity. We're also partnering with federal and state governments, other tech companies, researchers and civil society groups to share information and stop malicious actors. Over the past three years, we've worked to protect more than 200 elections around the world. We've learned lessons from each of these, and we're applying these lessons to protect the 2020 election in November. [21:58] Nathaniel Gleicher: We've also been proactively hunting for bad actors trying to interfere with the important discussions about injustice and inequality happening around our nation. As part of this effort, we've removed isolated accounts seeking to impersonate activists, and two networks of accounts tied to organize hate groups that we've previously banned from our platforms. [26:05] Nick Pickles: Firstly, Twitter shouldn't determine the truthfulness of tweets. And secondly, Twitter should provide context to help people make up their own minds in cases where the substance of a tweet is disputed. [26:15] Nick Pickles: We prioritize interventions regarding misinformation based on the highest potential for harm. And the currently focused on three main areas of content, synthetic & manipulated media, elections and civic integrity and COVID-19. [26:30] Nick Pickles: Where content does not break our rules and warrant removal. In these three areas, we may label tweets to help people come to their own views by providing additional context. These labels may link to a curated set of tweets posted by people on Twitter. This include factual statements, counterpoint opinions and perspectives, and ongoing public conversation around the issue. To date, we've applied these labels to thousands of tweets around the world across these three policy areas. [31:10] Richard Salgado: In search, ranking algorithms are an important tool in our fight against disinformation. Ranking elevates information that our algorithms determine is the most authoritative, above information that may be less reliable. Similarly, our work on YouTube focuses on identifying and removing content that violates our policies and elevating authoritative content when users search for breaking news. At the same time, we find and limit the spread of borderline content that comes close but just stops short of violating our policies. [53:28] Rep. Jackie Speier (CA): Mr. Gliecher, you may or may not know that Facebook is headquartered in my congressional district. I've had many conversations with Sheryl Sandberg. And I'm still puzzled by the fact that Facebook does not consider itself a media platform. Are you still espousing that kind of position? Nathaniel Gleicher: Congresswoman, we're first and foremost a technology company. We may be a technology company, but it's your technology company is being used as a media platform. Do you not recognize that? Congresswoman, we're a place for ideas across the spectrum. We know that there are people who use our platforms to engage and in fact that is the goal of the platform's to encourage and enable people to discuss the key issues of the day and to talk to family and friends. [54:30] Rep. Jackie Speier (CA): How long or or maybe I should ask this when there was a video of Speaker Pelosi that had been tampered with - slowed down to make her look like she was drunk. YouTube took it down almost immediately. What did Facebook do and what went into your thinking to keep it up? Nathaniel Gleicher: Congresswoman for a piece of content like that, we work with a network of third party fact checkers, more than 60 3rd party fact checkers around the world. If one of them determines that a piece of content like that is false, and we will down rank it, and we will put an interstitial on it so that anyone who would look at it would first see a label over it saying that there's additional information and that it's false. That's what we did in this context. When we down rank, something like that, we see the shares of that video, radically drop. Rep. Jackie Speier (CA): But you won't take it down when you know it's false. Nathaniel Gleicher: Congresswoman, you're highlighting a really difficult balance. And we've talked about this amongst ourselves quite a bit. And what I would say is, if we simply take a piece of content like this down, it doesn't go away. It will exist elsewhere on the internet. People who weren't looking for it will still find it. Rep. Jackie Speier (CA): But it you know, there will always be bad actors in the world. That doesn't mean that you don't do your level best to show the greatest deal of credibility. I mean, if YouTube took it down, I don't understand how you couldn't have taken down but I'll leave that where it lays. [1:40:10] Nathaniel Gleicher: Congressman, the collaboration within industry and with government is much, much better than it was in 2016. I think we have found the FBI, for example, to be forward leaning and ready to share information with us when they see it. We share information with them whenever we see indications of foreign interference targeting our election. The best case study for this was the 2018 midterms, where you saw industry, government and civil society all come together, sharing information to tackle these threats. We had a case on literally the eve of the vote, where the FBI gave us a tip about a network of accounts where they identified subtle links to Russian actors. Were able to investigate those and take action on them within a matter of hours. [1:43:10] Rep. Jim Himes (CT): I tend to be kind of a First Amendment absolutist. I really don't want Facebook telling me what's true and what's not true mainly because most statements are some combination of both. [1:44:20] Nathaniel Gleicher: Certainly people are drawn to clickbait. They're drawn to explosive content. I mean, it is the nature of clickbait, to make people want to click on it, but what we found is that if you separate it out from the particular content, people don't want a platform or experience, just clickbait, they will click it, if they see it, they don't want it prioritized, they don't want their time to be drawn into that and all emotional frailty. And so we are trying to build an environment where that isn't the focus, where they have the conversations they want to have, but I agree with you. A core piece of this challenge is people seek out that type of content wherever it is. I should note that as we're thinking about how we prioritize this, one of the key factors is who your friends are the pages and accounts that you follow and the assets that you engage with. That's the most important factor in sort of what you see. And so people have direct control over that because they are choosing the people they want to engage. Hearing: ONLINE PLATFORMS AND MARKET POWER, PART 1: THE FREE AND DIVERSE PRESS, Committee on the Judiciary: Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law, June 11, 2020 Watch on Youtube Witnesses: David Chavern: President of the News Media Alliance Gene Kimmelman: President of Public Knowledge Sally Hubbard: Director of Enforcement Strategy at the Open Markets Institute Matthew Schrurers: Vice President of Law and Policy at the Computer and Communications Industry Association David Pitofsky: General Counsel at News Corp Kevin Riley: Editor at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Transcript: [55:30] David Chavern: Platforms and news organizations mutual reliance would not be a problem, if not for the fact that the concentration among the platforms means a small number of companies now exercise an extreme level of control over the news. And in fact, a couple of dominant firms act as regulators of the news industry. Only these regulators are not constrained by legislative or democratic oversight. The result has been to siphon revenue away from news publishers. This trend is clear if you compare the growth in Google's total advertising revenue to the decline in the news industry's ad revenue. In 2000, Google's US revenue was 2.1 billion, while the newspaper industry accounted for 48 billion in advertising revenue. In 2017, in contrast, Google's US revenue had increased over 25 times to 52.4 billion, the newspaper industry's ad revenue had fallen 65% to 16.4 billion. [56:26] David Chavern: The effect of this revenue decline in publishers has been terrible, and they've been forced to cut back on their investments in journalism. That is a reason why newsroom employment has fallen nearly a quarter over the last decade. One question might be asked is if the platforms are unbalanced, having such a negative impact on the news media, then why don't publishers do something about it? The answer is they cannot, at least under the existing antitrust laws, news publishers face a collective action problem. No publisher on its own can stand up to the tech giants. The risk of demotion or exclusion from the platform is simply too great. And the antitrust laws prevent news organizations from acting collectively. So the result is that publishers are forced to accept whatever terms or restrictions are imposed on them. [1:06:20] Sally Hubbard: Facebook has repeatedly acquired rivals, including Instagram and WhatsApp. And Google's acquisition cemented its market power throughout the ad ecosystem as it bought up the digital ad market spoke by spoke, including applied semantics AdMob and Double Click. Together Facebook and Google have bought 150 companies in just the last six years. Google alone has bought nearly 250 companies. [1:14:17] David Pitofsky: Unfortunately, in the news business, free riding by dominant online platforms, which aggregate and then reserve our content has led to the lion's share of online advertising dollars generated off the back of news going to the platforms. Many in Silicon Valley dismissed the press as old media failing to evolve in the face of online competition. But this is wrong. We're not losing business to an innovator who has found a better or more efficient way to report and investigate the news. We're losing business because the dominant platforms deploy our news content, to target our audiences to then turn around and sell that audience to the same advertisers we're trying to serve. [1:15:04] David Pitofsky: The erosion of advertising revenue undercuts our ability to invest in high quality journalism. Meanwhile, the platforms have little if any commitment to accuracy or reliability. For them, a news article is valuable if viral, not if verified. [1:16:12] David Pitofsky: News publishers have no good options to respond to these challenges. Any publisher that tried to withhold its content from a platform as part of a negotiating strategy would starve itself of reader traffic. In contrast, losing one publisher would not harm the platform's at all since they would have ample alternative sources for news content. [1:36:56] Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA): So Miss Hubbard, let me start with you. You were an Assistant Attorney General for New York State's antitrust division. You've also worked as a journalist, which online platforms would you say are most impacting the public's access to trustworthy sources of journalism? And why? Sally Hubbard: Thank you for the question. Congresswoman, I think in terms of disinformation, the platforms that are having the most impact are Facebook and YouTube. And that's because of their business models, which are to prioritize engagement, engaging content because of the human nature that you know survival instinct, we tend to tune into things that make us fearful or angry. And so by prioritizing engagement, these platforms are actually prioritizing disinformation as well. It serves their profit motives to keep people on the platforms as long as possible to show them ads and collect their data. And because they don't have any competition, they're free to pursue these destructive business models without having any competitive constraint. They've also lacked regulation. Normally, corporations are not permitted to just pursue profits without regard to the consequences. [1:38:10] Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA): The Federal Trade Commission has repeatedly declined to interfere, as Facebook and Google have acquired would be competitors. Since 2007, Google has acquired Applied Semantics, Double Click and AdMob. And since 2011, Facebook has acquired Instagram and WhatsApp. What do these acquisitions mean for consumers of news and information? I think sometimes antitrust is seen and regulation is seen as something that's out there. But this has very direct impact for consumers. Can you explain what that means as these companies have acquired more and more? Sally Hubbard: Sure, so in my view, those, of all of the acquisitions that you just mentioned, were illegal under the Clayton Act, which prohibits mergers that may lessen competition. Looking back, it's clear that all of those mergers did lessen competition. And when you lessen competition, the harms to consumers are not just high prices, which was which are harder to see when in the digital age. But its loss of innovation is loss of choice, and loss of control. So when we approve anti competitive mergers, consumers are harmed. [1:55:48] Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL): Section 230, as I understand it, and I'm happy to be corrected by others, would say that if a technology platform is a neutral public platform, that they enjoy certain liability protections that newspapers don't enjoy, that Newscorp doesn't enjoy with its assets. And so does it make the anti competitive posture of technology platforms more pronounced, that they have access to this special liability protection that the people you represent don't have access to? David Chavern: Oh, absolutely. There's a huge disparity. Frankly, when our contents delivered through these platforms, we get the liability and they get the money. So that's a good deal from that end. We are responsible for what we publish, we publishers can and do get sued. On the other hand, the platforms are allowed to deliver and monetize this content with complete lack of responsibility. Hearing: Election Interference: Ensuring Law Enforcement is Equipped to Target Those Seeking to Do Harm, Senate Judiciary Committee, June 12, 2018 Watch on C-SPAN Witnesses: Adam Hickey - Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division at the Department of Justice Matthew Masterson - National Protection and Programs Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security Kenneth Wainstein - Partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell, LLP Prof. Ryan Goodman - New York University School of Law Nina Jankowicz - Global Fellow at the Wilson Center Transcript: [9:00] Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA): We know that Russia orchestrated a sustained and coordinated attack that interfered in our last presidential election. And we also know that there’s a serious threat of more attacks in our future elections, including this November. As the United States Intelligence Community unanimously concluded, the Russian government’s interference in our election—and I quote—“blended covert intelligence operations, such as cyber activity, with overt efforts by the Russian government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social-media users or trolls.” Over the course of the past year and a half, we’ve come to better understand how pernicious these attacks were. Particularly unsettling is that we were so unaware. We were unaware that Russia was sowing division through mass propaganda, cyber warfare, and working with malicious actors to tip scales of the election. Thirteen Russian nationals and three organizations, including the Russian-backed Internet Research Agency, have now been indicted for their role in Russia’s vast conspiracy to defraud the United States. Hearing: Facebook, Google and Twitter Executives on Russian Disinformation, Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism, October 31, 2017 Watch on Youtube Witnesses: Colin Stretch - Facebook Vice President and General Counsel Sean Edgett - Twitter Acting General Counsel Richard Salgado - Google Law Enforcement & Information Security Director Clint Watts - Foreign Policy Research Institute, National Security Program Senior Fellow Michael Smith -New America, International Security Fellow Transcript: [2:33:07] Clint Watts: Lastly, I admire those social-media companies that have begun working to fact-check news articles in the wake of last year’s elections. These efforts should continue but will be completely inadequate. Stopping false information—the artillery barrage landing on social-media users comes only when those outlets distributing bogus stories are silenced. Silence the guns, and the barrage will end. I propose the equivalent of nutrition labels for information outlets, a rating icon for news-producing outlets displayed next to their news links and social-media feeds and search engines. The icon provides users an assessment of the news outlet’s ratio of fact versus fiction and opinion versus reporting. The rating system would be opt-in. It would not infringe on freedom of speech or freedom of the press. Should not be part of the U.S. government, should sit separate from the social-media companies but be utilized by them. Users wanting to consume information from outlets with a poor rating wouldn’t be prohibited. If they are misled about the truth, they have only themselves to blame.

Today's episode is a classic tale of rags to riches, with Denys Zhadanov, VP of Marketing at Readdle. Readle is a successful app company with over 100 million downloads and a legacy that extends beyond the launch in the App Store, all the way back to the beginning of iPhone.  Having only just turned 30, he is so young given his accomplishments and his early adoption as one of the first creators of Apps, some that have gone on to inspire the technology we take for granted today.  We dive into Denys humble beginnings, raised in a small village in the Ukraine, his father worked as a communications engineer for the KGB and moved around from country to country until it's collapse in 1991. He gathered huge inspiration from his mother's determination to accomplish something great, as she went from consulting farmers to becoming governor of the region where they lived. This would set him and his brother up with the right mindset for creating their business later in life.  In 1998, him and his brother got their first pc and got to work almost immediately, geeking out on the potential of this new technology and learning to code, by the time the first iPhone dropped in 2007, they'd be one of the first people in the Ukraine to own one and set about making it easier for others to use it, by offering a cloud based solution for things that the iPhone couldn't do as standard. All the things our phones now do off the shelf but back then didn't, including apps similar to what we see in DropBox and Google Docs now. Their creativity earned them a prize place on the front page of the App Store on the day of its launch, and as a personal invite directly from Apple, they have been a huge help in the Readdle's success. In the first few months they had 60,000 downloads and made their first $20,000, which they invested straight back into the company. Bootstrapping their way to the staggering success they've achieved today.  Here's what you'll learn: From a shared room in Odessa to becoming a Silicon Valley tech giant Hard work, intelligence and a whole lot of good luck and good timing How positivity and high energy keeps connected with the right people Redesigning how we email with Spark Email app Innovating fast is the only way to stay ahead, the real David and Goliath story. How to become an early innovator that inspires industry leaders like google and apple. The correct way to think about the future - with 100 life goals. People will share when you offer something with real value Why it's much harder to find peoples problems than most think.  How you can accomplish half of your life goals in 1 single year! The correct way to cold approach a business connection Hope you enjoyed this week's episode with Denys, you can find out more about him here: Denzhadanov.com Readdle.com/ Twitter Denys's Instagram Readdle Instagram Full show notes: https://www.ikonns.com/podcast/episode40 Produced by Jason Sanderson - Podcast Tech

Go To Wake Up Eager Workforce Directory of Podcasts Show Notes: Overview of Episode #6. The following topics are covered: The problem of overwhelm runs rampant, the numbers... Six surprising  reasons why we get into overwhelm (it may not be what you think...) Seven Solutions:  Position Dashboard, 80/20 Exercise, Daily List of Six, Daily TNT, a Great Book, Tech Tools and Training. Wrap Up: An important Mantra/Affirmation and Nine Reminders… See Shownotes Online Topic #1: Intro, the Problem and the Numbers Timing on Recording: @ 3:30--- Problem of Overwhelm on my mind…Coaching calls with 30 different people – 84% (via TriMetrixHD assessment results) were experiencing some sort of discord around getting things done, as light as some tension to as strong as overwhelm, frustration and feeling hindered in achieving results. TriMetrixHD measures: Practical Thinking Definition - The ability to anticipate potential opportunities and problems. Sound problem-solving abilities. A calm, cool approach to managing opportunities and problems. Good follow-through.  One key trait of good practical thinkers is that they spend more time working diligently toward important goals than they do "putting out fires," which are urgent but potentially less important in the long run.The numbers: 84% of the 30 people scored NOT STRONG here. TriMetrixHD measures: Planning and Organization Using logical, systematic and orderly procedures to meet objectives.  Optimum productivity;  Monitors implementation and makes adjustments as needed. The numbers: 64%  of the 30 people being coached scored NOT STRONG here. (Population mean scores for this competency are low, too – of the 100,000's biz prof – 1-10, mean score for Planning and Organization is: 4.3.) Timing on Recording: @ 7:30--- I've been there, probably for the first 40+ years of my life.Today – my life is busy and full as it ever was, but I'm not overwhelmed…   Disclaimer – I am NOT a time management expert – I'm just a busy person, who wants to live as fully and joyfully as I can – and I observe myself and others, and I've found somethings that work – that I want to share with you. The BEST Mantra/Affirmation (and something to reach for...): I get things done immediately, thoroughly and cheerfully. Topic # 2: Suzie's Six Reasons Why...  (It Might Not Be What You Think!) Timing on Recording: @ 11:15 --- 1) Little known concept: Planning Fallacy –a strong tendency to chronically underestimate task completion. The planning fallacy --- Roger Buehler, a psychology professor estimates that people on average underestimate task-completion time by as much as 40%. His studies have found the same issues for matters as small as mailing a letter and as critical as income taxes.  2) Say yes to too much – being a 'please-r' or we just don't stop and think, not thinking does this fit in with my/business priorities? 3) DISC STYLE TENDENCIES (See: http://www.pricelessprofessional.com/discvideo ) ---D - Dominant = everything's urgent, snap decisions, poor delegation, firefighting, no written plan and crisis management (likes action) ---I - Influence = like to be involved with too many people, procrastinate “that's not fun” long lunches (love the conversation) and day dreaming ---S - Steadiness = Postpone the unpleasant,  not exercising authority, failure to be precise with responsibility, resisting change ---C - Compliance = overly neat and orderly, seeking the best – but not necessarily workable solution, fear of mistakes, overreacting to criticism, waiting for things to happen 4) Wrong type of work, so we start frustrating (not a match to your interests, competencies, communication style strengths)  5) Sometimes in the right place, but mindset/alignment is off  6) Management skills lacking – not efficient on the job.They may want to do it, because they liked what they heard.   The BEST Mantra/Affirmation (and something to reach for...) "I get things done immediately, thoroughly and cheerfully."   Topic # 3: Seven Solutions to Get Your Our of Overwhelm Timing on Recording: @ 19:05 --- 1) OVERALL: Know what your priorities are with a Job Dashboard – Top 3-5 priorities. Video overview and how-to:  www.pricelessprofessional.com/dashboard 2) Exercise Activity : 80/20 - The rule says that you should be spending 80 percent of your time on the most important 20 percent of your projects. ·           -Do you know what your most important 20 percent are?      -Do you spend 80 percent of your time on them? Why or why not?    -What can you do to re-prioritize your projects?    -Which projects can you delegate to someone else?     -Which projects don't really need to be done?     -Which projects should you ADD to your list?  Timing on Recording: @ 26:20 --- 3) Plan the next Day in advance – Your Daily List of Six WHAT: list of six must happen actions the next day, created the night before you leave work, so it's in your mind and on your desk when you arrive the next day. WHY: you get momentum from the previous day;it sets you up for success;it's empowering; it's doable; it brings more ease and calm into your day. HOW: Your List of Six should only include  what: 1. HAS TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. 2 You are WILLING TO COMMIT TO making sure gets done, the next day. Once you have your List of Six created, place it where you can see it when you get in to work the first thing tomorrow morning, and all day.        -->RESOURCE: www.pricelessprofessional.com/120tips   BOOK: 120 Stress Management Strategies for Professionals  -->RESOURCE: www.pricelessprofessional.com/mindbodyspiritquiz  QUIZ: Mind, Body, Spirit Quiz Timing on Recording: @ 34:00 --- 4) Tune in Time – TNT  -  A minimum of 15 minutes a day to Pause, Reflect, Plan and/or Think.

Take daily tune in time. 8) Affirmations to help you shift.  (For example: "I get things done immediately, thoroughly and cheerfully.") 9) Recreate/evolve/change your thinking that being overwhelmed = being valuable/or adds value.  Stop thinking that complaining and feeling ‘like a crazy person with a demanding schedule' proves something.  RECAP of RESOURCE LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST: -Overview of DISC Styles www.pricelessprofessional.com/discvideo - Create a Job Dashboard www.pricelessprofessional.com/dashboard - 120 Stress Management Strategies for Professionals  www.pricelessprofessional.com/120tips  - Mind, Body, Spirit Quiz www.pricelessprofessional.com/mindbodyspiritquiz   - Tune in Time  www.pricelessprofessional.com/tnt - Online Leadership Skills Training www.pricelessprofessional.com/leadershiponline   Contact Suzie Price Go Back To Podcast Directory STAY IN TOUCH: Are you a leader, trainer or consultant focused on building a Wake Up Eager Workforce?  Subscribe to this Podcast Here.   You can also sign up for monthly email updates, here.   Thank you for being a part of this!!
